Chapter 432 - Revenge 433: My Person (2/2)

Anna didn't know what to say after hearing Elijah's laugh. She can tell that he is agonizing about something and that something is related to his later sister. 'Why did he even mention his sister if he's going to hurt himself?' Anna inwardly asked.

”My sister was my person and I was her person. She and I were always there for each other no matter what. We confide on each other, we brutally speak the truth on each other, and most of all, we protect each other's back. When I saw dead laying on the floor, I... that moment, I felt that half of my being was taken away.” Elijah looks down at his hands and he bitterly, remembering the last moment he held his sister in his hands. Then he looks at Anna and asked her a question. ”What is your brother to you?”

For one minute, Anna only stared at Elijah. She's not searching for an answer with her mind because she already knows the answer to that question by heart.

With a bright smile plastered on her face, Anna answered the question. ”Just like you, he's my person. If I had to choose between Kyle and my brother, then my answer would be straightforward, I choose my brother. We have been together since the very beginning of our lives, inside of our mother's w.o.m.b, and I would not mind ending my life together with him as long as there are no regrets.”

Anna may be distant from her brother in their past life, but she can never imagine her without her brother. If he had been the first one to die before anyone else in her past life, Anna imagined that she might have tried to kill herself. That is how important her brother is to her.

”I see.” Elijah smiled. He completely understands where Anna is coming from. ”So, Kyle is number two then.” He added teasingly.

Hearing the last part that he just said, Anna became fl.u.s.tered. ”N-No. I-I don't mean it that way. If ever so happens that my brother is wrong, then I would choose Kyle. But in some circ.u.mstances, there would be-”

”Enough.” Elijah cut her off, and she immediately closes her mouth. ”There is no need for you to explain, Anna. I completely understand you. And don't you worry, I won't tell Kyle that he is placed second in your life.”

For some reason, Anna does not have much confidence believing that Elijah will be keeping what she just said a secret from Kyle.

”I sure do hope I can count on you on that, Mr. Robertson,” Anna spoke with an awkward smile.

”Grandpa Elijah.” He said.

”Excuse me?” Anna asked. Not getting the point Elijah is making.

”Well, if you and Kyle are going to be together a long time, I suggest that you better start practicing calling me Grandpa Elijah. It's better that way. I don't want us calling each other like strangers.”

Not so far away from Elijah and Anna, there is two people who are watching and trying to eavesdrop on the conversation Elijah and Anna are having right at this moment. ”What do you think they are talking about, brother?”

”I don't know. I'm trying to read their lips, but it's no use.”

”This is so annoying. I want to know what they are talking about. But I can't hear a thing! Why are we sitting here? Why can't we just sit two tables away from them?”

”Lannie, if we do that Anna and our grandfather will notice us. Both you and I don't want to get in trouble, right?” Just like Lannie, Kyle also wants to know everything that Anna and Elijah were talking about. He's trying to understand them by reading their lips, but it seems like it's not giving him any good results.

The reason why the Robertson siblings are here at the cafe is because of the fact that their grandfather called out Anna to talk. The first child, Kyle, is somewhat afraid that Anna might get hurt while the second child, Lannie, is afraid that her grandfather might say something that will cause Anna to back away from her brother.

In case of any of their wild imaginations might happen, both siblings are present to stop it.
